: The word translated "Greek-speaking people" can also be translated "Hellenists," that is, "Greek-speaking Jews." It is a rare word that is not found in Greek literature written before the New Testament. Therefore, it is probable that some copyists changed it to the more familiar word "Greeks." Not much weight can be put on the translations into Latin, Syriac, and Coptic because those languages have no special word for Greek-speaking people. The nonsense original reading of manuscript Sinaiticus is probably due to the fact that the next word "proclaiming the gospel" is spelled very much like "evangelists" in Greek and the reading is probably due to a mistake of the eye.
